All,

Is there a way to write to excel from a query using the below logic and format each column uniquely? 

foreach my $stmt (@{$ary_ref}) 
{ 
   $worksheet->write_col(15,0,$ary_ref,$format); 
   last; 
}

I know you can set a column like so…I have tried the set_column before the write_col and after. The write_col function seems to always overrides it. 
$worksheet->set_column('J:J',19.57,$format);

$worksheet->set_column('J15:J300',19.57,$format);

Basically, my code takes three different queries and writes to excel using the write_col function to write the data in three different locations on one worksheet. I want to handle the formatting of each section independently. I can format the block with a general format during the write_col. But I can't rap a grid around one block and format individual columns with dollar sign, percent sign, colors, etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated...
